I did it at least a dozen times during training and TWICE during my CMEL checkride. That designee was a real pain and it was memorable because I had a lot of trouble getting a restart while 25-40 miles offshore of Long Beach, CA. I finally told him that I was not going to trade any more altitude for airspeed if the last attempt didn’t work, but would just fly back to the airport. I got a restart at about 500’ MSL. When we finally were ready to go home, he told me to do a shutdown again and I landed with one engine shut down/prop feathered. Well, I passed the checkride but was exhausted and a bit annoyed at the end of that day. To this day, I’m not at all worried about losing power in one engine.
